The centaurs who appeared from both sides were not very numerous.

It looks like there are only one or two thousand people.

But these men and horses all had weapons in their hands, and as soon as they appeared, they immediately attacked Liu Zheng's fleet on the river without saying a word.

This group of water thieves, without the slightest ambiguity, directly raised the bow and arrow in their hands, or the javelin and other weapons used to throw, and fired at the boats on the river on both sides of the riverbank.

In one shot, thousands of arrows fell on the river, making a popping sound.

Because the distance was not too close, these arrows could not completely hit the ships, although some ships were hit by arrows, but there were not many people on board, such an attack could not form effective damage to Liu Zheng's fleet in a short time.

But it made the people on Liu Zheng's side panic, and the moment they were attacked, they were in chaos.

At the same time, while the men and horses on both sides were attacking Liu Zheng's fleet on the river, another fleet also appeared in the rear of Liu Zheng's fleet at this time.

This new fleet was no more than seven or eight warships, but the ships were well-equipped, not only equipped with a large number of long-range projection weapons, but also fast-sailing devices, which could accelerate in a short time and pursue Liu Zheng's side.

These equipment are all necessary equipment for water thieves who have been on this river all year round, and many boats in the hands of water thieves have this kind of device, which is a lot of wood pulp, which can rely on rowing in a short time to accelerate quickly.

In addition, at this time, it was down the water, so the speed at which these ships approached Liu Zheng's fleet was very fast, just at the moment when Liu Zheng and the men and horses on both sides of the strait attacked. This new fleet has also reached Liu Zheng's rear.

"Listen to the boat in front, we are water thieves on this river, I advise you to lay down your arms and surrender immediately, we can spare your lives, otherwise there is only a dead end waiting for you to make useless resistance!"

In the distance, a threatening voice could be heard from behind.

This voice made Liu Zheng's fleet in a panic even more flustered.

Although it was panic, it was actually just a panic from the outside, because after these incidents, the more than 3,000 soldiers and horses hiding in these more than ten ships had not yet come out of it.

More than 1,500 soldiers and horses in the hands of Chiang's thieves, who were just following behind the fleet, began to approach the rear, and several ships occupied one side and intended to meet the enemy.

"Fuck, I didn't expect to really encounter something, brothers, if you take Liu Zhengqushuai's money, you have to share his worries, you must stop these bastards!"

Jiang Qin turned his head and shouted at the brothers behind him.

In fact, when Jiang Qin took over Liu Zheng's job at the beginning, he didn't think that he would encounter people robbing the road on the way, first, Liu Zheng himself had hundreds of soldiers and horses to escort him, plus his men and horses, in Jiang Qin's opinion, the number had exceeded 2,000.

Such an escort fleet, ordinary little water thieves, do not dare to use any crooked brains at all, and there are only a handful of people who dare to rob ships with this strength.

But Zulang is Liu Zheng's person, and Jiang Er's thief himself participated in the guard, and the rest is two or three people possible.

However, most of those people, most of the thieves on Tuesday Jiang know a little, and they know that they should not appear on this river recently, and they are busy dealing with Liu Xuan.

But I didn't expect that Jiang Qin thought that there would be no problems with the voyage, but there was still a problem, and the ships that appeared from behind him had more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, and such a sudden attack would be very disadvantageous to the defenders.

In addition, there are arrows on both sides of the river, and vaguely, Jiang Qin is already a little worried about whether his manpower can be enough to protect Liu Zheng's merchant ships.

"Brother, the situation doesn't seem good!"

Zhou Tai has naturally discovered the situation around the world, and Zhou Tai is also very clear that the purpose of these attacking thieves is very clear, that is, for Liu Zheng's merchant ships, so if they insist on fighting, Jiang Zhou's thieves may not be able to stop them.

"I took Liu Zheng's money, if I run at this time, I can't say it, even if we are here, we have to block those people for Liu Zheng."

Although Jiang Er's thieves had not yet recognized who these hijackers were, he had already made up his mind to continue to stay here and fight against those people.

Zhou Tai saw that Jiang Qin had already said this, so he naturally didn't say anything more, but immediately took his weapon and approached the approaching ship.

In the battle on the river, the first wave is the charge, and the warships of each other collide, and if they can directly sink the other party's ships, then they will have the upper hand.

If it doesn't sink into it, then the next thing is a fight between people who get closer.

Approaching this time, there was no such thing as firearms, and for a large time, they all relied on bows and arrows, and these new fleets in the rear obviously did not have many bows and arrows, and there were many people in between, holding planks and hooks.

As soon as the two fleets approached, they threw the hooks with ropes tied to the other boats, and then pulled them to link the ships of both sides, followed by hand-to-hand combat between the people on both ships.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are not cowards, they have been on this river for several years, and they have long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of scenes, and they are not afraid of this kind of fighting.

As soon as the ships of the two sides approached, Jiang Qin raised his sword to cut the ropes, and while trying his best to delay the approach of these enemy ships, he ordered his men to design with bows and arrows at the place.

The other side didn't have many arrows, but Jiang Qin still had a lot of arrows on their side, and a wave of bow and arrow shooting could cause some losses to the enemy first.

When the number of hooks appeared too large to be stopped, he jumped up and jumped on the railing of the link between the two boats, and one person shook the center, so that the enemy could not come.

He Jiang Qin relied on his bravery and became famous among the brothers, so that more people were convinced and became the boss of their team of water thieves.

With Jiang Qin's example, Zhou Tai was not far behind, and also led another part of the people to take the initiative to kill the other party's ship.

The hand-to-hand combat between the two sides attracted Liu Zheng's attention, Liu Zheng stood on the deck, watching that Jiang Er's thief had already fought with Yan Xing's men and horses, and his impression of Jiang's Er's thief had improved a lot.

"I didn't expect that this Jiang Tuesday thief was still a little righteous, and he didn't just leave us and run away after the enemy fleet appeared."

Zu Lang stood behind Liu Zheng and heard Liu Zheng's words, although he had always been unpleasant to Jiang Erren, he was also talking to them at this time.
